Ok, this is going to be long. To some of you it may just seem like whinging, and in the big scheme of things its not that important I spose, but... yeah. Anyway. 'The story so far...'
This is about a girl. Some of you obviously want to tune out now. Thank you. So...
I met her online, and she lived near me, so we met up. One thing led to another, we started going out, etc.
Then she moved. Her parents wanted money to buy some surrounding properties, so they moved to a little town called Premer (hole++) to run a general store. Its 5 and a half hours away. So this was back in september.
For various reasons, we weren't able to see each other, but we were told early December, we'd be able to meet. We finally get to late November. Her mother:
"Oh, no, definitely not until the 9th, we're too busy".
About the 8th. Again, her mother:
"Well, its the harvest season now, sorry, you'll have to wait until early January. Definitely then."
All throughout this we've both been told various lovely things by our parents including:
"Stop being so selfish"
"Its only a zillioneth of a lifetime"
"Just get over it"
"A few more months doesn't matter"
etc.
You get the point. We get to January, and her mother is putting off calling, again and again, refusing to give us a date. My dad has to go away on the 10th, and we were kinda hoping for it being before then, as her mother wanted to meet both my parents. Her mother's opinion:
"Well why don't we wait until he gets back?" Because, y'know, as we *(&%#ing told you, my father will be away until the end of Febuary.
So it went on and on like this until monday. Then we get the killer. This is a general overview of the conversation between Beca and her mother, excluding the half hour of expletives from the parents...
Her mother and father were discussing 'whether or not Beca was mature enough to stay over at someone's place' (though she's done it **many** times before).
Beca: The reason you're saying that is so you don't have to organise the trip.
Parents: We don't need our "integrity impugned" (sp?) by a 14 yr old! You can't go visit him until you're more mature.
And... now they won't talk about it AT ALL, and we're left wondering. We don't know how long its gonna be, its been about 4 months since we last saw each other, so... yeah.
